NUTRITION
• When I am talking you are not.
• If I give you an instruction I expect
you to follow it the first time
• If you hear a whistle/hand up that
means stop what you are doing ,
look at me, and listen for my
instructions.
• You must respect myself and your
peers.
• To enjoy health and physical
education.

TIME TO CREATE YOUR
OWN FOOD PYRAMID!
Be creative and also be mindful of the daily requirements
